Alexander And Tiqer Help Wanted

摘要

I have a full-width windscreen Alexander-style available to a preservationist, but I have been unable to identify it. I acquired it seven or eight years ago for the Alexander A-type body on my own ex-Glasgow Leyland Atlantean and was assured it came from an Alexander vehicle. I think it had been around quite a while. It is identical in measurements to the Alexander A-type or Y-type windscreen, but it has a shallower wrap round at the sides. I wonder if the T-type uses the same screen as the A and Y-types or if this fits perhaps a Plaxton coach or one of the contemporary Alexander A-type lookalikes. Can anyone help? I am loath to destroy it, as I feel it must be of use to someone. Its measurements are as follows: height in the centre 36.5in; height at the sides 36in; width at the back 83in top, 85.5in centre, 88in bottom. It has quite a taper to the top, just like the A/Y-type. I am also doing some research into the Leyland Tiger 290 and wonder if any readers can help. This photograph shows the Tiger 290 badge that adorned certain Cummins-engined Tigers. I wonder if any readers can help with close-ups of this badge and photographs of any vehicles that carried it in any operators colours, or help identify which vehicles actually carried it.
